2/20 Cubs win arb case vs. Theriot

The Cubs won their arbitration case with shortstop Ryan Theriot, and will pay him $2.6 million this season.

Theriot was seeking $3.4 million. The two sides had a hearing Friday in Tampa, Fla. This was the first time Theriot, 30, was arbitration eligible and the first time the Cubs had a hearing since 1993.

Theriot’s case was the last to be heard in Major League Baseball. The teams won the arbitration cases this year, 5-3.

I absolutely agree w/ cindicub, The Riot was a huge part of the Cubs’ attack in the early 1/3 of the season, then Lou told him to change it up.
Attn Cubs Mgmt: Show him the $$$ at the end of the year season or someone else will!
